And I think the economists on your side are more in tune to injecting morality into economic policy rather than actually data. You remember a little something about the bond market supposedly disciplining our expansionary fiscal policy with high inflation and SOARING interest rates?

Strupp, I'm no economist, and I don't have the background or smarts in this area as you and dad have, but I would ask this. You say they don't deserve years of 20%+ unemployment. Don't they? Is this not a result of reckless spending on the part of their governments? Do they bear no responsibility for the results? Won't we, when the same happens here? After all, the collective 'we' refuses to see what awaits us at the end of the path we've been following. The collective 'we' refuse to even acknowledge what we're heading for. Does that not make us complicit in the end result, thus, deserving?
